relative URLs inside of email body in workflow emails?

In my auto-generated emails in workflows, I provide the reader a link to a list item on the SP site.ÃÂ The problem is that I seem to have to provide an absolute URL, which of course changes between development in production.ÃÂ Is there a solution for this short of editing my workflow when I move to production?ÃÂ I'm on MOSS 2007 and use SP Designer.

I have a a list that recieves email. I have few fields that shows me the originator: "E-Mail From" and "E-Mail Sender".

I am trying to create a workflow that will generate an auto reply to the originator but the SPD fails to recognize the email address in these two fields. It's either truncating part of it or uses the html ( href=mailto:Demo@DemoSomething.com) in
the To field.

I’ve got strange problem. I’ve created workflow with Visual studio 2008 which works fine. If workflow create task user gets email with alert and it works- user gets email. The problem is that I would like to use Workflow component: “SendEmail” for some cases. And if I enter directly into component email address for field: “TO” the message will be delivered.
But if I use simple code with the same email address for field ”TO” it doesn’t work (field TO is empty now).

I have a SPD workflow (WSS/2007) that take a date field from a document list and when that date occurs it sends an email. If the date is in the past, it will send the email out right away. It is working fine for one user, not for another.
Both users have the same permissions. The workflow goes as follows:

ACTION: Set Variable: vTermdate to
DocumentsNotificationDate
then log
Documents:Email Date to the workflow history list

CONDITION: if Variable: vTermdate is not EmptyACTION: Log term not empty to the workflow history list

CONDITION: if Variable: vTermdate is EmptyACTION: Set Variable: vTermdate to
N/A

So the situation is, i have a list, that receives emails from a particular account all day long, recently it has started recieving emails "late" being it will mass process emails at various times of the day. Before it proccessed them as soon as
they were received.

Event log shows

A critical error occurred while processing the incoming e-mail file C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Drop\e472144001cb44a40000001e.eml. The error was: The process cannot access the file 'C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Drop\e472144001cb44a40000001e.eml' because it is being used
by another process..

Have this error everywhere.

I'm not sure the best way to do a regex for the body section of an email contact form. I want to use the regex to prevent more than 150 characters from being entered. I assume this is sufficient, I may need more. I also want it to help
guard against sql injection attacks.
The more I think about it the more characters I can think of that should be allowed. I want to allow punctuation since it's for an email and people should be using full sentences. These are some other things that make sense to allow:
" , ', : , ; , $ , . , ! , ? , - , _ , @ , & , ( , ).
They cover situations when someone may put an email address or phone number in the body section for the email. I also want to allow letters and numbers.
I'm not sure if it's best to allow the characters I mentioned or not allow characters that pose a potential threat. I think allowing the ones I want is the best way, but I'm not sure. Can someone please give an example and/or suggestions? Are
there other characters that should be allowed?
I don't have much yet: "^(?i)[a-z0-9\s]{1,150}$"

We use CRM 4.0, which is using .net framework 3.5 SP 1. Emails sent out of CRM go through and email router and the subject line of these emails is getting "=?us-ascii?Q? added to the beginning of the subject line and "?= added to the end of the subject
line. This is causing a large amount of our emails getting spammed.
I was told by the CRM support that this is an issue with .net 3.5 and won't be fixed until .net 4.0, which CRM won't support for another year. Is there not a .net 3.5 patch that can address this?

I am trying to include an image in an email that I am sending out from Sharepoint designer. I have followed the below instructions from Microsoft's site and all I get in my email is the text. Anyone have success with this?

How to from MS site-
Include an image
It is not possible to embed an image or graphics file in the body of an e-mail message that is sent by your workflow. However, you can include a graphic in your message by using the HTML image tag (<img/>) to link to an image that is stored as a JPEG
(.jpg) file and uploaded to a picture library in your site.
In the body of your message, in the location where you want the linked image to appear, type the
<img src=""/> HTML tag. Position the insertion point between the two double quotation marks (""). Type or paste the URL for the JPEG image file

Hi All,
I am facing one issue with Alert. We have one Posts list in one of the Blog where Alert Me generates immediate alert for the users who have subscribed to the Blogs. Whenever any new Post added, edited or deleted they used to get alerts.
But in the alert email, the body of the alert which normally contains the Post decsription gets truncated intermittently. Sometimes it is truncated with less than 2048 characters in the Body filed and some times with more than 4098 characters.
I found in some articles that the limitation is 2048 characters in one line after whcih the new line is expected , else the text will be truncated.
I am not able to find the logic behind this truncation in default sharepoint alert functionality.
Could you please give some more insights on this front?
Thnaks:)

hi,
How to trigger the workflow when current time is equl to end time.

I have set up an approval workflow for a document library that has email enabled. Emails come into the document library fine, however, if an item is emailed to the library the workflow kicks off with the initiator as "System Account" rather than the person
who submitted the email. This makes the error of "The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the e-mail has a valid recipient." come up. If someone submits a document directly to the library (by logging into sharepoint and submitting) everything works fine.
The person submitting by email is a valid sharepoint user and the profile shows the correct email address. The Created by and Modified by fields show the correct person (rather than System Account), it's only the workflow User ID that shows incorrectly if
document is emailed to library.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have a workflow that is intermittently not working.
I have the Action: Send an Email and I am using a SharePoint group to send the email too.
Now all of a sudden the workflow won't compile and tells me there are errors.
The SharePoint Group is showing up as the problem that won't allow the WF to compile.
It looks like this: Email *SharePoint Group*
If I put the SharePoint group into the CC field as well as the To field, then the WF compiles.
Is this a permission problem?
